verbal test题型分析及真题中英文

1、Verbal Test 题型简介及 14 种解题技巧Verbal Test 类型笔试题简介笔试题Verbal TestVerbal test 就是给出一段 100200 多字的短文，然后让你根据文章意思，判断题干信息正确与否， 主要考察应聘者的英语阅读能力和逻辑判断能力。一般选项有 3 个，一是 yes，就是说题干的信息根据原文来判断是正确的;二是 no，就是说题干的信息根据原文来判断是错误的;三是 cant say，就是根据原文提供的信息无法判断对错(千万不要把自己对自然界和人生的认识强加上去，没办法，这就是老美的思路，简单而直接)。考过 GRE 或者 GMAT 的同学应该很容易就可以应付

2、verbal test。online test 的 verbal test 记得好像是 15 分钟，30 道题(汇丰 BDP 好像是 20 分钟，40 题，另外上回汇丰 BDP 现场笔试时没有提供报时，同学们注意自己看表)，如果要全部完成的话，需要半分钟完成一题，对大多数同学来说时间会很紧。因为题量大，偶的建议是尽量控制在平均 30 秒内一题的速度，一般来说文章看懂后，基本可以直接判断对错的。但是有时候往往是在 yes 还是 cant say，或者 no 和 cant say 间无法判断(如果你在 yes 和 no 间犹豫不决，那应该是基本没看懂文章)，针对这种情况，我的建议是无论如何不要超过

3、 45 秒的考虑时间，随便在两者中择一。因为，考虑到我们的逻辑判断往往并不完美，有的时候将结果交给运气未必不是件好事，而且不至于影响后面的题目。否则碰到最后一篇短文时，发现很简单，但是时间不够，那就冤大了。和 numerical test 一样， verbal test 也是一篇短文，然后出几道题。偶的建议仍然是，先读懂短文，再作题。在作题的过程中，有些不好判断的，可以再看原文后进行判断。十四种题型做题技巧Ture/False/Not given(是非题)1. 解题步骤STEP 1：定位，找出题目在原文中的出处。(1) 找出题目中的关键词， 最好先定位到原文中的一个段落。(2) 从头到尾快速阅

4、读该段落，根据题目中的其它关键词，在原文中找出与题目相关的一句或几句 话。(3) 仔细阅读这一句话或几句话，根据第二大步中的原则和规律，确定正确答案。 (4)要注意顺序性，即题目的顺序和原文的顺序基本一致。STEP 2：判断，根据下列原则和规律，确定正确答案。2. True 的特点(1)题目是原文的同义表达。通常用同义词或同义结构。例 1原文：Few are more than five years old.译文：很少有超过五年的。题目：Most are less than five years old.译文：大多数都小于五年。例 2原文：Frogs are losing the ecolog

5、ical battle for survival, and biologists are at a loss to explain their demise.译文：青蛙失去了生存下来的生态竞争能力，生物学家不能解释它们的死亡。 题目：Biologists are unable to explain why frogs are dying.预览：译文：生物学家不能解释为什么青蛙死亡。解释：题目中的 are unable to 与原文中的 are at a loss to 是同义词，题目中的 why frogs are dying与原文中的 their demise 是同义词，所以答案应为 Tru

6、e。(2)题目是根据原文中的几句话做出推断或归纳。不推断不行，但有时有些同学会走入另一个 即自行推理或过度推理。例 1原文：Compare our admission inclusive fare and see how much you save. Cheapest isnot the best and value for money is guaranteed. If you compare our bargain Daybreak fares, bewaremost of our competitors do not offer an all inclusive fare.，译文：比较我

7、们包含的费用会看到你省了很多钱。最便宜的不是最好的。如果你比较我们的价格， 会发现绝大多数的竞争对手不提供一揽子费用。题目：Daybreak fares are more expensive than most of their competitors. 译文：Daybreak 的费用比绝大多数的竞争对手都昂贵。解释：虽然文章没有直接提到的费用比绝大多数的竞争对手都昂贵。但从原文几句话中可以推断出Daybreak 和绝大多数的竞争对手相比，收费更高，但服务的项目要更全。与题目的意思一致，所以答案应为 True。例 2原文：For example, it has been demonstrate

8、d that rapid response leads to a greater likelihood of arrest only if responses are in the order of 1-2 minutes after a call is received by the police. When response times increase to 3-4 minutes预览：-still quite a rapid response the likelihood of an arrest is substantially reduced.译文：例如，只有反应时间在接到电话之后

9、 1-2 分钟，快速反应才会使抓住罪犯的可能性更大。当反应时间增加到 3-4 分钟，仍然是非常快的反应，抓住罪犯的可能性就实质性的降低。题目：A response delay of 1-2 minutes may have substantial influence on whether or not a suspected criminal is caught.译文：1-2 分钟的反应延迟会对嫌疑犯是否被抓住产生实质性的影响。解释：从原文的两句话可以推断出：1-2 分钟，抓住罪犯的可能性很大，3-4 分钟，可能性就实质性的降低。所以，1-2 分钟的反应延迟会对嫌疑犯是否被抓住产生实质性的影响

10、，答案应为 Ture。更多例子例 1题 目 ：First attempts at migratory beekeeping in America were unsuccessful. 原 文 ：American beekeepers experimented with the same idea,moving bees on barges along the Mississippi and on waterways in Florida,but their lighter,woodern hives kept falling into the water.(注意：两句中划线部分的逻辑意义。)例

14、hen only one individual exists.译文：当只有一个个体存活时，一个物种就被说是了。解释：可以看出题目与原文是反义结构。原文说一个物种光，才叫，而题目说还有一个个体存活，就叫，题目与原文直接相反，所以答案应为 False。例 2原文：It has been successfully used in the United States to provide input into resource exploitation decisions and assist wildlife managers and there is nowenormous potential f

15、or using population viability to assist wildlife management in Australias forests.译文：在美国它已经成功地用于支持资源开发和帮助野生生命研究管理者。现在，在使用它对澳大 利亚的森林中的野生生物管理上有巨大的潜力。题目：PVA has been used in Australia for many years.译文：PVA 已经在澳大利亚使用多年了。解释：原文说 PVA 在澳大利亚的研究中有巨大的潜力，即刚刚开始。题目说在澳大利亚已经使用多年，所以题目与原文是反义结构，答案应为 False。(2)原文是多个条件并列

16、，题目是其中一个条件(出现 must 或 only)原文是两个或多个情形(通常是两种情形)都可以，常有 bothand、and、or 及 also 等词。以及 various / varied / variety / different / diversified / versatile 等表示多样性的词汇。题目是“必须”或“只有”或是“单一”其中一个情况，常有must 及 only / sole / one / single 等词。 例 1原文：Booking in advance is strongly recommended as all Daybreak tours are subje

18、。例 2原文：Since the Winter Games began, 55 out of 56 gold medals in the mens Nordic skiing events have been won by competitors from Scandinavia or the former Soviet Union.译文：自从冬奥会开始，在男子越野滑雪项目中的 56 块中的 55 块金牌被来自北欧和前苏联的选手获得。题目：Only Scandinavians have won gold medals in the mens winter Olympics. 译文：只有北欧人获

19、得了冬运会男子越野滑雪项目中的金牌。解释：原文是北欧人和前苏联的选手获得了金牌，而且是获得了 56 中的 55 块，还有 1 块不知道被谁获得。题目是只有北欧人获得了金牌。所以答案应为 False。(3)原调是一种“理论(theory)”, “感觉(felt)”，“倾向性(trend / look at the possibilities of)”，“期望或是预测(it is predicted / expected / anticipated that)”等词。而题目强调是一种“事实”，常有 real / truth / fact / prove 等词。例 1原文：But generally

20、 winter sports were felt to be too specialized.译文：但一般来说，冬季项目被感觉是很专门化的。题目：The Antwerp Games proved that winter sports were too specialized. 译文：Antwerp 运动会证明冬季项目是很专门化的。解释：原文中有 feel，强调是“感觉”。题目中有 prove，强调是“事实”。所以答案应为 False。例 2原文：Another theory is that worldwide temperature increases are upsetting the br

22、 unlikely(不太可能)等词。题目中常用 special 、impossible、all(全部)、usually(通常)、always(总是)、及 impossible(完全不可能)等词。 例 1原文：Frogs are sometimes poisonous.译文：青蛙有时是的。题目：Frogs are usually poisonous.译文：青蛙通常是的。解释：原文中有 sometimes，强调是“有时”。题目中有 usually，强调是“通常”。所以答案应为False。例 2原文：Without a qualification from a reputable school or

24、ly / may / maybe / seemingly / somewhat / apparently / seems / appears / perhaps / not necessarily / chances / odds / presumably / almost 绝对: always / definitely / absolutely / irrefutably/ assuredly / indisputably / undeniably / certainly / invariably /unarguably / inevitably / without question (5)

25、 情况原文中包含条件状语，题目中去掉条件成份。原文中包含条件状语，如 if、unless 或 if not 也可能是用介词短语表示条件状语如 in,with,but for 或 exept for。题目中去掉了这些表示条件状语的成份。这时，答案应为 False。例 1原文：The Internet has often been criticized by the media as a hazardous tool in the hands of young computer users.译文：Internet 通常被媒体指责为是年轻的计算机用户手中的危险工具。#p#副标题#e#题目：The m

26、edia has often criticized the Internet because it is dangerous. 译文：媒体经常指责Internet ，因为它是危险的。解释：原文中有表示条件状语的介词短语 in the hands of young computer users, 题目将其去掉了。所以答案应为 False。(6) 出现以下词汇，题目中却没有说明。 less obviously / less likely / less possible 更多例子例 1题目：There will be a surcharge for accommodation over the Ch

29、定与例 3意义的矛盾。)题目：Parents save time and money by driving children to school.原文：There are very significant time and money costs for parents associated with transporting their children to school,sport and to other locations.(注意：两句中划线部分，题目与原句对应处表现为题目中并列成份的缺失。) 例 4题目：Mintel have limited their investigation

31、s deleted or heavily overexploited,almost all in the developed countries. (注意：两句中划线部分，题目与原句对应处表现为题目中并列成份的缺失。)4. Not Given 的特点(1) 题目中的某些内容在原文中没有提及。题目中的某些内容在原文中找不到依据。(2) 题目中涉及的范围小于原文涉及的范围，也就是更具体。原文涉及一个较大范围的范筹，而题目 是一个具体概念。也就是说，题目中涉及的范围比原文要小。例 1原文：Our computer club provides printer.译文：我们计算机俱乐部提供打印机。题目：O

32、ur computer club provides color printer.译文：我们计算机俱乐部提供彩色打印机。解释：题目中涉及的概念“”比原文中涉及的概念“”要小。换句话说，计算机俱乐部提供打印机，但是 是彩色还是黑白的，不知道或有可能，文章中没有给出进一步的信息。所以答案应为 Not Given。例 2原文：Tourists in Cyprus come mainly from Europe.译文：到塞浦路斯旅游的游客主要来自欧洲。题目：Tourists in Cyprus come mainly from the UK.译文：到塞浦路斯旅游的游客主要来英国。解释：题目中涉及的概念“

33、UK”比原文中涉及的概念“Europe”要小。原文只说到塞浦路斯旅游的游客主要来自欧洲，有可能主要来自英国，也可能主要来自欧洲的其他国家，文章中没给出进一步的信 息。所以答案应为 Not Given。(3) 原文是某人的目标、目的、想法、愿望、保证、发誓等，题目是事实。原文中常用 aim / goal / promise / swear / vow / pledge / oath / resolve 等词。题目中用实意动词。 例 1原文：He vowed he would never come back.译文：他发誓他将永不回来。题目：He never came back. 译文：他没再回来。

34、解释：原文中说他发誓将永不回来，但实际怎么样，不知道。也可能他违背了自己的誓言。所以答 案应为 Not Given。例 2原文：His aim was to bring together, once every four years, athletes from all countries on the friendly fields of amateur sport.译文：他的目的是把各国的运动员每四年一次聚集到友好的业余运动的赛场上。题目：Only amateur athletes are allowed to compete in the modern Olympics. 译文：只有业余

35、运动员被允许在现代奥运会中竞争。解释：原文中用 aim 表示“目的”，题目中用实意动词表示“事实”。把各国的运动员聚集到友好的业余运动的赛场上，这只是创建者的目的，实际情况如何，文章中没说，所以答案应为 Not Given。(4)原文中没有比较级，题目中有比较级。例 1原文：In Sydney, a vast array of ethnic and local restaurants can be found to suit all palates and pockets.译文：在悉尼，有各种各样的餐馆。题目：There is now a greater variety of restaura

36、nts to choose from in Sydney than in the past.译文：现在有更多种类的餐馆可供选择。解释：原文中提到了悉尼有各种各样的餐馆，但并没有与过去相比，所以答案应为 Not Given。(5)原文中是虚拟 would / even if ，题目中却是事实。(虚拟语气看到当作没有看到)(6)原文中是具体的数据事例，而题目中却把它扩大化，规律化。更多例子例 1题目：Fish farming can cause environmental destruction.原文：Fish farming tends to damage coastline.(注意：两句中划线
